San Francisco's most iconic row of Queen Anne-style Victorian homes, built between 1892 and 1896 along Steiner Street facing Alamo Square. Known as Postcard Row or the Seven Sisters, these pastel-painted residences create a celebrated visual contrast between delicate 19th-century wooden gingerbread architecture and the sleek glass towers of downtown San Francisco behind them. Famous worldwide from the opening sequence of Full House.
Highlights
- Classic postcard view from the grassy slope of Alamo Square
- Seven ornate 1890s Queen Anne Victorian residences
- Dramatic backdrop of downtown skyscrapers behind historic row
- Famed pop-culture landmark seen in Full House and movies
